4. Wash bedding with cold water

Blankets, bed sheets, and pillowcases are very susceptible to dust mites. Not only that, they are also prone to yellow stains due to dead cells and sweat secreted from the body.

When washing with cold water, you will save some electricity but will not remove the yellow stains or kill bacteria effectively.

It is best to wash them with hot water every 2 weeks, but be careful not to use water that is too hot to avoid deforming the material.

5. Cleaning the washing machine

There are small gaps and holes between the washing drum and the outer shell of the washing machine for water to enter and exit. During the washing process, some dirt will stick to the inside of the washing machine or the corners of the drain pipe through these small gaps and holes, thereby breeding bacteria.
